Hangzhou heating up for opening games

Today we toured Hangzhou in search of scenic shots for our broadcast - & everywhere we looked we found something beautiful. We did our st&ups in the stunning area of West Lake, the heart of the city. It's a spectacular venue, surrounded by lush, verdant hills, & the lake is dotted with isl&s, pavilions & gardens.

It is high travel season here in Hangzhou, & the Chinese people seemed to be just as fascinated with us, as we were by the scenery. As we prepared to shoot our st&ups, a large crowd gathered to watch. Our fixer (translator) was asked if I was a famous actress! I had to laugh & hoped they weren't disappointed to hear I was only a sports reporter from Toronto, Canada.

We are amazed by this beautiful vibrant city, which manages to beautifully blend the excitement of Times Square with the history of one of the world's oldest cultures. The people here are extremely curious about us, & we never fail to draw a small crowd, especially when the television camera comes out.
